Our primary target is the poor, vulnerable and socially excluded. The focus is on two core streams:- Provision of developmental social welfare services and programmes that mitigate against the negative effects of social risks (disability, substance abuse, HIV & AIDS, crime prevention and support) and assist individuals to access their rights (e.g. the elderly, children, families). Provision of community development programmes which facilitate the empowerment of communities to participate in their own development, through sustainable livelihoods programmes, youth entrepreneurship development programmes and institutional capacity building and support. Vision To create a better life for all in the Eastern Cape by providing care, protection and development for the poor and the vulnerable. Mission To improve the quality of life and social well-being of people of the Eastern Cape through integrated and developmental social services in partnership with relevant stakeholders utilizing appropriate and available resources. Main Services 101

2 In line with the core functions and responsibilities the main services rendered by the department include the following: Line functions: Developmental Services: Substance abuse prevention and rehabilitation Care and services to older persons Crime prevention and support Services to people with disabilities Child care and protection services Victim empowerment HIV and AIDS Social relief of distress, and Care and support services to families. Community Development: Youth development Sustainable livelihoods Institutional capacity building and support Research and demography, and Population development and advocacy. This is done, inter alia, in partnership with implementing agencies (such as Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs), Faith-Based Organisations (FBOs) and Community Based Organisations (CBOs). Support functions Provision of leadership, management and administrative support for effective and efficient service delivery specifically, regarding the following fields: Human Resource Management Financial Management Supply Chain Management Strategic Planning and Policy Development Communication and Marketing Special programmes, and Information management and technology and infrastructure. Demands and changes in services The demand for social welfare services, which include prevention, early intervention and protection services, and alternative care and reintegration after care, is very high in the urban, semi-urban and rural areas of the province. These services are people-oriented and are rendered to the communities through the services of social services professionals. In turn, the social services professionals need offices, office equipment and vehicles so as to reach these communities effectively. The continued high poverty rates and growing inequality in society, especially amongst adults and youth of employment age, remains a major concern. These are addressed through sustainable livelihoods programmes. The growing prevalence of HIV and AIDS, especially in younger economically active population, is a cause for a concern. The HIV and AIDS challenge also places an enormous burden on the department s services with regard to the increasing number of orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs). 102

3 Placement of children in alternative care is given a priority and best practices are being explored, but the escalation of numbers continues to place severe demands on the department s resources. The Department renders some of the core services in collaboration with the Provincial Departments of Health; Public Works; Education; Housing; Safety and Liaison; and Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture in an integrated approach through the Social Needs Cluster. This is in line with the government s approach to deliver services in an integrated and clustered fashion. Departmental Mandate The functional responsibilities of the Department of Social Development in the Eastern Cape are defined in Chapter 2, Sections 10, 27 and 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. The function is conferred to the province in terms of Schedule 4 Part A of the Constitution. The Executive Council of the Eastern Cape assigned these responsibilities to the Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Social Development. Our target as the Department of Social Development is the vulnerable groups of society, the poor, the marginalized and the disadvantaged groups. The department has identified children, women, youth, people with disabilities and the aged as focus groups for targeted for service delivery. It is for these groups that we make a clarion call for a caring society. Core Legislative and Other Mandates The following policies and legislative frameworks facilitate the execution of the mandate of this department: The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996; White Paper on, 1997 International Convention on the Rights of the Child (ICRC), ratified by South Africa in 1995, Draft Policy Recommendations on the Transformation of the Child and Youth Care System, 2000; Child Care Act, 1983 (as amended) and regulations to include sexual exploitation of children and secure care centres; Probation Services Act, of 1991; Prevention and Treatment of Drug Dependency Act, 1992 (as amended); Non Profit Organisations Act, 1997; Drug Master Plan, 1998; Adoption Matters Amendment Act, 1998; The Social Assistance Act 59 of 1992; The Aged Persons Amendment Act, 1998; Child Justice Bill; National Development Agency Act, 1998 Social Service Profession Act, 1978; Domestic Violence Act, 1998 National Population Policy for South Africa,1998 Advisory Board on Social Development Act, 2001 National Gender Policy Framework Public Service Act,1994 and its Regulations Public Finance Management Act, 1999 as amended and its Treasury Regulations Employment Equity Act No. 75 of 1998 Labour Relations Act, No. 66 of 1995, Promotion of Administrative Justice Act, No.3 of 2000, Promotion of Access of Information, No. 2 of

4 2. Review of the current financial year (2007/08) During the 2007/08 financial year, the department focused on consolidating service delivery in the core functional areas and in addressing challenges in the support services. This is the second full year that the department has operated without the social security function. The budget was allocated to the existing three programmes of the department. Youth development projects, women s cooperatives and sustainable livelihood projects were extended. A special focus was placed on researching and developing an integrated and coordinated approach to poverty reduction in line with the call made by the president in the State of the National Address in February The department developed the Eastern Cape poverty reduction model, working definitions and indices that provide the basis of the targeted and integrated approach for which the president has called. A Provincial Poverty Reduction Coordinating Committee, led by the department, was established during the 2007/08 financial year. With regard to social welfare services, the department brought the subsidies for ECD practitioners in line with national norms; developed a partnership with the Department of Education on the equipping and training of ECD practitioners; and launched a special drive to increase the registration of ECD sites. The significant increase in the number of Probation Officers and Assistant Probation Officers employed early in 2007 meant that services to children and youth in conflict with the law increased significantly. Similarly, care and support to persons with disabilities and to the elderly were also increased. Working with the Department of Justice and South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), a special emphasis was placed on identifying and addressing the foster care backlog. The department is committed to strengthen interventions on sustainable livelihoods and this is evidenced by the fact that the following initiatives have been funded; 36 Youth Entrepreneurship Development Projects targeting 540 unemployed and out of school youth, 56 Food Security Projects 1400 poor households and 20 Women Co-operatives targeting vulnerable women. During this process the department emphasised the importance of community participation as a first step towards building sustainable livelihoods. As part of a systematic approach to community development approach, a standardised business plan format is currently being used to assess feasibility, sustainability, accountability and proper utilisation of funds. In order to improve and consolidate support services and ensure improved compliance, the department implemented an Audit Turnaround Plan that sought to address the specific issues raised by the Office of the Auditor-General in the audit of the previous year. Steps taken included improving the record keeping of NGOs and NPO files; systematically getting (and keeping) the HR records straight and improving business processes around procurement. Improved asset management also formed an important part of the interventions. At the start of the financial year funded vacancies were advertised and 898 were filled. Thereafter, as and when vacancies arose these were routinely advertised. In filling these vacancies, the department strove to strike a balance between upward mobility of existing staff and bring in new people. The end result was that in 2007/08 significant strides were made in improving the capacity of the department to deliver its services. 3. Outlook for the 2008/09 Financial Year Continued transformation of welfare services and implementation of the new Service Delivery Model: The department will intensify the implementation of the new SDM, with special focus on filling the vacancies on the new organizational structure in a phased manner; in improving delegation of functions to Districts and Local Service Offices (Areas); and in improving coordination of projects between Programmes 2 and

5 Sustainable livelihoods and youth development projects: Our key interventions will be to address poverty challenges and bridge the gap between the first and second economy utilising sustainable livelihoods and youth entrepreneurship development programmes. Projects will be spread across all local municipalities, but an additional focus will be placed on the 11 poorest ones. HIV and AIDS: The department will increase the coverage of the HIV and AIDS programme through the extension of HCBC in all local municipalities. This programme is one of the tools that are utilised by the Social Sector to create jobs and facilitates skills development through Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP). Equally, it is an intervention that assists people infected and affected by the disease to sustain themselves with dignity. The department will also seek to improve the linkage with the EC AIDS Council and Department of Health. Victim Empowerment Programme: The programme will expand its outreach centres and facilitate economic empowerment of survivors of domestic violence. Improved coordination with the Department of Safety and Liaison will be implemented. Development of Strategic Partnerships: The department will continue to intensify its programmes on development of strategic partnership through engagement of the private sector, FBOs, tertiary institutions and civil society in order to maximise impact on utilisation of resources. In this regard the specific partnership with the Donald Woods Foundation in Mbashe will be taken forward. Poverty Reduction: The department will focus considerable energy and resources in the implementation of the specific Eastern Cape Poverty Reduction Model, piloted in the 11 poorest local municipalities. This includes both backward and forward linkages to the development of the National Strategy in The Presidency and other provincial departments. Support to 2010 FIFA World Cup: The department has identified projects that will create opportunities for the local communities of the Eastern Cape, within its mandate, in support of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The department has strategically designed activities to leave behind capabilities that transcend beyond 2010 FIFA World Cup. Social Service Professionals: The department is compelled to continue to recruit additional Social Service Professionals to keep pace with the pressure and demand for effective service delivery. A retention strategy and Occupation Specific Dispensation (OSD) for remuneration will be implemented in collaboration with our National Department of Social Development. In addition, the department will implement interventions like bursaries for social workers to ensure an adequate supply of social work professionals over time. Infrastructural Development: The department identified, in 2007/08, that office accommodation in the Area, District and Local Service Centres, particularly in the eastern part of the province, was very poor. Frequently, staff is expected to operate crowded into 10 year old park homes. In addition to the backlogs which were not previously addressed, consideration also needs to be made of the effect of the appointment of Social Services Professionals and support staff. This places pressure on the upgrading and expansion of existing facilities and construction of additional new facilities in line with the new Service Delivery Model. Consideration has been made to address service backlogs and structural inequities particularly in the former homeland areas. Substance Abuse: The social ills confronting society that largely emanate substance abuse, compels the department to design and develop activities to continue to respond to this social challenge. District improvement of management services: The department s commitment to improve accessibility of its services to the poor has culminated into a design of a strategy to decentralise decision making together with delegated authority. 2008/09 has been identified the year in which the process will be meaningfully taken forward. Improvement of Management Systems and Institution Building: Focus will be on establishment and strengthening of management systems and processes that will enhance efficiency and effectiveness of delivery of services and ensure that an appropriate control environment is in place. 105

Payment summary This section provides information pertaining to the vote as a whole as an aggregated level, including payments and budget s in terms of programmes and economic classification. 5.1 Key assumptions The following key assumptions form the basis of the 2008/09 budget of the department. Provision for the improved salary dispensation and training of social workers. Salary increases including adjustments contained in the wage agreement. Inflation related items are based on CPIX projections as per Budget Format Guidelines. 5.2 Programme summary Table 4.3 below shows a summary of payments and budget s per programme over the MTEF cycle.

The major increase is due to the additional funding received towards the implementation of Occupation Specific Dispensation for Welfare Services, Expansion of the Early Childhood Development, Developing Monitoring and Evaluation Capacity for Welfare Services, Expansion of Home and Community Based Care, Expansion of services to Children in Conflict with the law and Restoration of the baseline as a result of a budget cut that occurred during the 2007/08 adjustment period. Furthermore the department is anticipating collecting once-off revenue amounting to R20 million NGO debtors.. 107

This is as a result of a strategic shift in the priorities of the department where the appointment of social workers, probation officers, community development workers and other professional staff have been prioritised to deal with the backlog in social welfare services. Compensation of employees constitutes 37 per cent of the 2008/09 budget. This triggered a risk factor especially when considering the shortage of social workers and support staff to manage the 63 per cent of non-personnel budget hence the reduction of non-personnel budget in outer two years. The increase under transfers and subsidies to NGOs and Non-Profit Institutions (NPIs) for 2008/09 is due to the number of new business plans that have been approved for NGOs and NPIs of programme two. Included in the 2008/09 are additional allocations for implementation of OSD for welfare Services (R29.1 million), expansion of ECD (R23.6 million), developing Monitoring and Evaluation capacity for Welfare Services (R3.1 million), expansion of HCBC (R15.7 million), expansion of services to Children in Conflict with the Law (R7.9 million) and restoration of baseline (R72 million) due to surrendered funds in 3007/08. The funding of the priorities and restoration of baseline contributed to the growth of 47 per cent in 2008/
